Indeed, the entropy of fusion of neopentane is about 4 times lower than that of n-pentane and isopentane.
12.
This quality makes clean-up with pentane or hexanes trivial, but also easily leads to contamination of reaction mixtures.
13.
Typical solvents for ionic polymerization include non-polar molecules such as pentane, or moderately polar molecules such as chloroform.
14.
Paper cups may consume more non-renewable resources than cups made of polystyrene foam ( whose only significant effluent is pentane ).
15.
In one example involving this system, the alkane pentane is selectively converted to the halocarbon " 1-iodopentane ".
16.
The refinery, located seven miles from Sunray, Texas, included a spherical tank containing half a million gallons of pentane and hexane.
17.
Before 1949, the chemical engineer Fritz Stastny ( 1908 1985 ) developed pre-expanded PS beads by incorporating aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as pentane.
18.
The ( E )-enolate is favored due to an unfavorable " syn-pentane " interaction in the ( Z )-enolate transition state.
19.
For instance, if this reaction is conducted in pentane at-40 �C, ( ? 5-C 5 Me 5 ) ZnEt is the sole product.
20.
I guess you could call pentane either valerane or amylane, and hexane may be called caprane . talk ) 08 : 32, 26 February 2011 ( UTC)
